Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CC2540, CC2511, CC2531, CC2544, CC2541DK-MINI
Hi all,
I bought CC2540 USB Dongle (MINIDK) rev. 1.0.1 and I can't find working driver for Windows x64.
I did search a lot of threads here and neither of answers could provide a solution.
If CC2540 USB Dongle is connected to Windows 10, it is installed as COM port with Microsoft driver. In this case I cannot use BT packet sniffer, coz device is not recognized.
I did USB trace on Win 10 and this device: device descriptor cleary states USB VID and PID:
- idVendor Texas Instruments 0x0451
- idProduct 0x16AA
I did check that Setup_SmartRF_Studio_7-2.10.0.exe installs cebal driver, where USB PIDs are the following:

In swrc212a.zip package driver has even less PIDs defined.
It is obvious that no driver found for such a dongle with PID 0x16AA.
Could anyone at TI explain
1. why was USB PID changed for already existing product thus creating headache for all developers?
2. Where is the 64bit USB driver for devices with PID 0x16AA for CC2540 USB Dongle (MINIDK) rev. 1.0.1 ?
3. Is there any different FW version for CC2540 USB Dongle (MINIDK), so USB PID would be as in the driver? What is the version number and where is it stored?
